The reversal could actually have a beneficial effect on Earth. The sun is on the verge of a significant event: a magnetic field reversal. The sun undergoes such a reversal every 11 years ...

In fact, the discovery actually supports a key part of the theory about how chorus waves work. Using data from the ...

A pair of physicists at the University of Crete has found that some types of biological magnetoreceptors used by various ...

An international team of scientists has modeled the formation and evolution of the strongest magnetic fields in the universe.

“The current behaviour of magnetic north is something that we have never observed before,” William Brown, a global geomagnetic field modeler at the British Geological Survey, said in a statemen ...

Creatures from migratory eels and other fish species to insects to birds tap into the Earth’s magnetic field to navigate, sometimes many thousands of miles. But so far, evidence has been scant for any ...

the magnetic north pole’s position is determined by Earth’s magnetic field, which is in constant motion. Over the past few decades, magnetic north’s movement has been unprecedented — it ...
